河南农村老年人期望寿命研究

Study on Active Life Expectancy of the elderly Aged of Sixty Years and Over in Rural Area in Henan

通过对唐河县６０岁以上农村老年人的调查，借鉴国外老年人功能测量和健康期望寿命研究方法，以日常生活活动（ＡＤＬ）丧失为期望寿命的判定终点，计算了河南农村６０岁以上老年人的健康期望寿命，探讨了健康期望寿命指标及其研究方法应用于农村老年功能健康和生命质量评价的可行性。结果显示，６０～６４岁组老年人群的平均预期寿命为１６．７岁，其中男性为１４．８岁，女性为１９．３岁。健康期望寿命为１４．９岁，男性为１３．５岁，女性为１６．８岁。女性各年龄组的平均期望寿命均高于男性。

Making use of the data about mortality and rate of disability of ADL(Activity of daily living) collected from the elderly population in rural area in Henan province, we calculated active life expectancy(ALE) and life expectancy of disability(LED).The results showed that the average life expectancy of the population at 60～64 years old is 16.7 years,14 8 years for the male and 19 3 years for the female. The ALE is 14 9 years,13.5 years for the male and 16 8 years for the female. The average life expectancy of the female at each age group was longer than that of the male. However, the proportions of ALE in expected remained years of the male were longer than that of the female.
